Abstract
An Ir-catalyzed reductive coupling of diverse 1,1-disubstituted allenes with fluoral hydrate in the presence of 2-propanol provides CF3-substituted secondary alcohols with acyclic quaternary carbon-containing stereodiads. A stereochemical model shows that the ortho-CH2 group of the cyclometalated iridium-PhanePhos complex plays a key role in directing diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
